All of these procedures can achieve the ultimate objective of giving the patient a beautiful smile. The reasons to do so extends beyond your appearance and self-esteem to how you actually feel on a daily basis. There are proven scientific benefits to improving your smile and using it more.
When you smile, your body releases neuropeptides - small molecules that allow your neurons to communicate with each other. You may have heard of dopamine, serotonin or endorphins; which are all neuropeptides. These neuropeptides can make you feel happier by improving your mood, reducing stress, lowering your heart rate and even reducing pain. Smiling can quite literally make you feel better.
Additionally, when other people see you smile, two positive things happen - their orbitofrontal cortex is activated so that they feel rewarded. They will also smile (it's contagious) and this will release neuropeptides in their brain. As a result, they will feel happier and associate that sense of happiness with you. The chain reaction can improve social/professional interactions, cause people to view an individual as more attractive and even help one perform better at work. All of these are plenty of reasons to visit our laser dentist office to improve yours.
